The Real Housewives of Dubai

This is pure trash, no real Emirati women or a sense of Dubai culture. The women all look like hookers who moved to Dubai and their personalities are all bitchy entitled- Even Phaedra from Atlanta is supposed to show up and if she did I missed it because the show is boring. Not an engaging woman in the bunch. Wtf is wrong with Andy Cohen to put this mess out. There has to be a likeability factor as well as quirky with the characters but these bitches are just annoying and unattractive bimbos. No thanks !

Tried to watch the first episode and couldn't get through it. I've spent time in Dubai and know "Real" house wife's from the Emirates..... these ladies are certainly not them.

Completely pointless waste of time, not one trace of authenticity or real moral value in any of the women who do absolutely NOTHING but brag and compete with each other for the title of MOST USELESS HUMAN BEING EVER. Fake hair/wigs, jewelry, pancake makeup, overpriced cars and homes do NOT make you genuine. Barely able to get thru each episode as I was beyond bored and disgusted at the lack of any plot. In today's world of nothing but SERIOUS problems and people suffering, there are so many things their supposed wealth and time could help. Shame on Bravo for this disgraceful, empty, ridiculously STUPID waste of film.

The problem seems to be the women did not know each other before the show started. Ayan is a gorgeous model and she's running around throwing shade at women she just met (You said I was unimportant?) and picking silly fights to create drama because there is none otherwise. Caroline Stanbury is a wealthy hard-working influencer who is busy hyping her shoe brand, her podcast, and all the brands who pay her in Dubai including the hotel Raffles where she has a second wedding to her husband Sergio for the cameras. Add to that the restaurants who are paying the producers and its not a tour of billionaires backyards in Palm Jumeriah but a string of waiters welcoming ladies to lunch in restaurants that can be anywhere offering up the specialty of the day. They intercut it with shots of Dubai landmarks and hit a few but this show could be anywhere. The women are ethnically diverse with one caucasian, two Arabs, and three of Black or Afro-Caribbean descent. But they aren't really diverse. The women are five American citizens, one British citizen, and one Emirati who I came to watch because she was the manager and girlfriend of Michele Morrone the most gorgeous actor of 365 Days. But that relationship professional and personal seems to be over and he has not so far appeared in the show. So that thrill is gone. The Emirati Sara Almadani is frankly quite boring despite her many tattoos which are "haram" in Muslim culture. She takes a shot at the toxicity of the Emirates masculine culture and tells us she's raising her son to be a person but then goes through this fake pantomime of trying to get him to sit on the floor and eat with his hands to pass on the tradition. When he refuses she turns to the nanny and says "Maureen I tried." Sure once for the cameras. She is not rich enough to be a thing of envy her kitchen is a 1970s laminate hell. And there must be many rich Emirati women they could put on the show - some with traditional values who might clash with the other stars or perhaps could give us a real lesson in Emirati culture. Honestly, this is a miss for Bravo. They were led by brand sponsorships and forgot all about talent and character and plot.

This show is about a group of friends living in Dubai. There is petty drama here and there but it's more so about their journeys and personal lives. Dubai is mostly made up of Expats, if your comment is complaining about the Expats you've never been to Dubai.

This is the actual truth. I read comments about the lack of Emirati women, however due to culture those are wouldn't want to be on American television. The only emirate on the show actually spoke about this On The Show.

Furthermore due to Dubai restrictions they were some things this production are not allowed to show. So if it comes across as boring, keep that in mind...
